Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often requires surgical intervention known as Carpal Tunnel Release. This condition occurs due to pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain and numbness in the hand.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist through which the median nerve travels. Its small size makes it prone to compression from swelling, causing discomfort. The carpal ligament, located just beneath the skin, forms the roof of this tunnel. During surgery, the carpal ligament is cut to relieve pressure and create more space for the median nerve and surrounding tissues.
Carpal Tunnel Release can be performed using two methods:
The carpal tunnel is a rigid structure near the base of the hand, formed by muscles and bones. It houses the median nerve, which controls finger movement.
Preparation for this procedure is similar to other surgical treatments. A series of tests are typically conducted three days before the surgery, including:
Carpal Tunnel Release is an effective solution to alleviate symptoms and restore hand function.
